Remarkable Career of Hhe Man Who
Oyyus Montana Regent.

Omaha Republican.
year ago very few people residing out
side the lines of Colorado had heard OF John
ID. MorrisSey, whose offer to back his horse
Montana Regent agaisnt Lucky" Bald
wins Volante for $40, 900 in two-and-
a-half mile race was published III yes
terday's Republican. Five years ago Nor
riSSey was working for $4 day in one of
the Leadville mines. To-day his check for
$3, 900, 600 WILDE honored by any bank in
the country, and he OWNS some of the richest
mining property in the Centennial state.
His career has been as remarkable as that
of the lucky San Franciscan whose money
he is yearning to win.
Morrissey is an Irshman, about 35 years
| of age. When he arrived in Leadville eight
or nine years ago he could neither read nor
! write. His illiteracy did not bother HIM
much until he began to climb the ladder to
wealth and was ordered by circumstances
to mingle with the brains, culture and cap
ital OF the great Carbonate Camp. Then he
employed private tutor and studied hard
until he was able to sign his name and read
the signatures of others.
MorrsSey'S ascension to aff1uence was
very rapid. He learned practical mining at
Georgetown, Col, and was working as Il
practical miner in the Crown Point prop
erty Mt Leadville when it was closed dawn
and offered for sale by Disguised stockhold-
ers. One of these was Joseph Rey-
nolds, of Chicago. known TO fame
as Diamond Joe'' and 1.-The Steam
boat King" Morrissey whispered
something to him, and Reynolds said: $50
ahead, and you will receive one-third of
all the ore you turn out" Morrissey went
ahead. and after working hard six months
uncovered the richest body of wire-siIver-
bearing ore ever discovered in the state.
From that moment fortune smiled
on him. As fast as he made money
he invested it. The Crown Point
is still pouring out wealth for
him, and he received share of the output
of the best mines at Aspen, Red Cliff, Sow
belly Gulch and other points within 100
miles of Leadvlle.
He has always been lover and promoter
of square sports. When working miner
lie was prominent in the wrestling
and boxing matches held almost daily at
Leadville, and as his fortunes increased he
rode his hobby higher. About thee years
ago he began to speculate OH the turf. and
made money ''hand over fist" Last fall
he purchased the horse Montana Regent for
song. HOrsemen who know Morrissey
predict a decrease in Mr.. Baldwn's capital

coming month to the annual convention,
which meets in this city on June Z.
There is a great amount of bust
ness already on hand, and it is

year and the ACCESSIBILITY of further
Strengthening the organization by taking in
men under new claSSitications, so
that all skilled mill labor will have
representation. 1t is said that

steel meters will be strongly advocated,
and that if they are taken in it will increase
the membership of the association to 1885,
600 men. In regard to the new scale of
wages nothing is known. A number of
the delegates already chosen favor scale

Complexion in the Spring and How
to s'reserve Them.


to Ereserve Them.
March winds and the very changeable
weather Of the month are both rather detri-
mental 10 the complexion. Those who go
out but seldom suffer more from the effects
OF the wind and dust than Others A thin
gauZe veil IS quite necessary at this season,
and there are lew rules that should be
observed by all women who wish to
preserve clear. soft and fine
complexion. The rules of beauty say
never to wash the face or hands in warm
water just before going into the cold air.
The sudden change of atmosphere will tend
to roughen the skin. The best plan at this
season is to battle the face and neck the
first thing on arising, and by the time ones
toilet is made the skin will be in its normal
condition. A little borax added to the
water will soften it.
Cold cream or vaseline applied nightly to
the face. neck and hands. and rubbed well
into the pores of the skin, will tend to keep
it soft and refine the grain. Many women
who have kept their youthful freshness of
complexion attribute it to this practice, and
1t Is especially to be recommended after q
warm bath.
1t is best to battle just before going to
cSe' DO any uduSCi VI CdlCHlIlS colo Is thus
avoided, and the complexion is improved
by keeping warm for several hours after
leaving the bath.
couple of pounds of bran put,into a
thin bag and then in the bath tub is ex-
cellent for softenng the skin. 1t should
be left to soak in small quantity of water
several hours before being used.
The internal aids to a clear complexion
are most of them well known, and the
present season is the best for a thor
ough cleansing and purifying of the
blood. The old-fashoned remedy of
sulphur and molasses is considered
among the best. Charcoal powdered and
taken with water is said to be excellent but
is most difficult to take. A strictly yege.
table and fruit diet is followed by manv
for one or two weeks.
1t is rather hazardous to use rouge for the
daytime at this season of the YEAR, Tt not
only looks bad and is at once detected hnt
1t Injuries the skin. Baby powder applied
thlckly over the face after coming in from
the wind and left on for few hours will
remove any burning or smarting sensation.
Even the woman with the least vanity
should pay little attention to her COM
plexion during the first spring months. and
thus insure its beauty for another wear.
